Canary country circular tour 19-04-2019, stage 5 - Tibenham

Post by andygolfer » Sun Apr 21, 2019 2:09 pm

last stop but one for us (we had intended calling at Old Buckenham first but we were running late for our appointment at Priory Farm and I hadn't had a reply from Old Buck either so we gave it a miss). What gliding had been going on had ended for the day - probably not much good for gliding with a totally clear sky and no thermal inducing cloud but there were a couple of powered jobs preparing to go up. A brief call at the club house to introduce ourselves and they let us get on with it so off we went. Tibenham is quite a large former WW.2 airfield with much of all 3 runways still in place, fortunately the hangars were all in one area! not all the hangars were open but we saw a good selection and one hangar was opened to get the Christen Eagle out ready to fly - convenient timing and the owner even pulled it into the sun for me!

A great collection of shots, the colour scheme on the DR400 is looking a bit dated now though. I do like the scheme on the Zenair CH750 though.

Agreed Martin - but not as dated as the scheme on the Jabiru :D

The Zenair was rather smart and would have liked to see that in the sunlight
